Tips for use
¾ Read and observe the operating manual of the
charger and operating arm.
¾ Never leave the hedge trimmer unattended
during breaks and store it in a secure location.
¾ Hold the hedge trimmer parallel to the hedge
when switching on, otherwise there is a risk
of injury.
¾ Also when working maintain a safe distance
relative to the cutting tool.
¾ Wear suitable safety goggles, safety helmet
and ear defenders!
¾ Take extra care if you are walking backwards.
Risk of tripping!
¾ Switch the motor off when carrying the device
to or from separate working positions.
¾ Never bypass or manipulate switching mech-
anisms installed on the device (e.g. by taping
the switch to the handle).
¾ When working always ensure you are stand-
ing safely.
¾ Always be aware of your environment and
possible hazards which you may not be able
to hear because of the noise of the device.
¾ Check for hidden objects in the hedge, such
as wire fencing.
¾ Hold the hedge trimmer securely with both hands.
Information about vibrations:
¾ Vibrations can cause nerve damage and impair
the blood circulation in the hands and arms.
¾ When working in the cold, wear warm clothing
and keep your hands warm and dry.
¾ Take breaks.
¾ If you notice that the skin of your fingers
or hands goes numb, tingles, hurts or goes
white, stop working with the machine and, if
necessary, consult a doctor.
¾ The specified vibration emission values:
• Were measured according to a standardised
testing procedure.
• Make it possible to estimate the power tool
emissions and compare these with different
power tools. Dependent on the conditions of
use, the state of the power tool or tools inserted
for use with it, the actual vibration load may be
higher or lower. When estimating the emis-
sions, consider doing so during work pauses
and phases when the tool is under reduced
load. Based on the correspondingly adjusted
estimated values, take protective actions, e.g.
organisational actions.
